This may present another problem.If the insurers rate projects differently and offer different insurance rates for each project, this insurance rate would effectively become an endorsement of sorts.Also, I don't think there's anything preventing individual kickstarter campaigns to offer such an insurance if they want.

Facebook has just turned 11 years old a few weeks ago.Most people who joined facebook in their teens are no longer be teens.How can it still be called a "teen phenomenon"?

If you seriously don't know what the moderation system of Facebook looks like, you don't get out much.It's demonstrated on pretty much every website, on TV and radio commercials and shows. Even paper media will tell you how it works.

Go back to your hipster coffeebar and don't come out until you've grown your own opinions.

I continue to be amazed by the slowness of some other common file operations,1. Select a lot of files and directories.2. Drag them to another folder to start copying.3. Wait a few seconds and cancel.4. Wait 15 minutes while a window shows "Cancelling...", during which you can't really do anything.

Why does it take so long to cancel file copying? It has to delete a single (partial) file at most.

Most people simply don't have the technical skills to maintain a website, even if it is a modern CMS.Wordpress.com has an anti-porn clause. So do pretty much all hosting providers. Those that do allow porn (usually on dedicated accounts) charge a lot more to do so.

Who says they didn't get that compensation?When the employees signed the contract, they sure as hell thought it was sufficient compensation.This isn't some non-compete for a totally different joy; these employees are basically doing the exact same job, but at a competitor.

I guess that's Carnegie-mellon's luck then, that they're unlikely to get sued.7 hours is plenty of time to both recieve multiple acceptances and send back replies politely turning them down.With hundreds of people, there are bound to be a few.
